Feature → Business Impact → Application: Squeeze-type design with a zinc die-cast body enables fast, repeatable terminations, reducing installation time and torque variability on FMC conduit runs. This translates to lower labor costs and fewer rework incidents during panel wiring and field installations. Application: ideal for control cabinets and enclosures in demanding factory environments. The material choice offers excellent corrosion resistance, extending service life in non-hazardous settings and reducing maintenance costs for equipment racks and process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Straight connector geometry provides predictable alignment, simplifying conduit routing and improving overall wiring integrity in tight spaces. Application: panel builds, machine tables, and compact control panels where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-ins insulated design reduces part count while encouraging proper sealing practices through compatible gaskets and housings. Application: cost-competitive terminations in ordinary locations with appropriate enclosure protection. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1-1/2 inch trade size supports standard FMC systems, streamlining stock management and interchangeability across Eaton Crouse-Hinds connectors. Application: scalable harnessing for mid-size equipment and distribution panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance and UL Canada certification provide regulatory assurance, reducing risk during audits and new-install approvals. Application: compliant installations in North America with predictable performance.

FAQs

The 712DC is designed for FMC conduit and uses a straight, squeeze-type connection. To install, align the conduit, secure the connector with the appropriate squeezing tool to achieve a tight, even compression, then verify that the joint is sealed and aligned with the enclosure entry, ensuring proper strain relief and enclosure protection.
The 712DC supports NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. It also carries Canadian certification references for armored cable compatibility. This combination provides regulatory alignment for North American installations and helps simplify compliance during audits and inspections.
Squeeze-type connectors offer faster, more consistent terminations with less tool variability, reducing installation time and rework. They provide reliable seals for non-insulated connectors and simplify field installations, especially in tight spaces or high-volume panel builds, while maintaining compliance with NEC/CEC.
The 712DC is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. If you require installation in hazardous environments, you should select a connector with appropriate explosion-protection ratings and certifications designed for those conditions.
The 712DC measures 2 in in length, with 2.11 in width and height, and weighs about 0.31 lb. This compact, lightweight profile facilitates easier handling, quicker inventory checks, and smoother routing in crowded panels or equipment bays, contributing to faster builds and reduced labor cost.
